Go West, Young Man!

Wednesday, May 18, 2016
As most of you know, my on-line community (The UCF) lost one of our members last month. Dr. Phil was a mensch, and we wanted to do something to memorialize his passing.

So after working with members of his other communities and his lovely wife Debbie, we're fundraising for a "Dr. Phil Memorial Clarion Scholarship."

From the Clarion website:
Clarion is an intensive six-week summer program focused on fundamentals particular to the writing of science fiction and fantasy short stories. It is considered a premier proving and training ground for aspiring writers of science fiction, fantasy, and horror.
Dr. Phil was an alumni of this program, and made many friends there, and now we'd like to send other aspiring writers to UCSD in his honor.

If you want to contribute to this effort, feel free to donate our our GoFundMe Dr. Phil Memorial Scholarship page, or you can donate directly to Clarion on their donation site. If you choose to donate on the Clarion site, please note that the donation is designated for the Dr. Phil Scholarship, otherwise the money will go into the general fund.

We miss you, Dr. Phil.
